cyclically cynical

@mrmikeMTL February 09 2009. The greatest transfer in wealth started that day; a process that continues now - with the players becoming increasingly desperate to maintain control.

Can anyone pin-point the exact moment where everything in society just got substantially worse???

@mrmikeMTL Normally I would say criminal Court - but Family Court is where the real psychos are.

Wrong Answers Only. Where is the best place to make friends?

@Ravenismeee Titanic.

I need a movie where the villain actually won

@TheCinesthetic Lee’s Palace used to be THE place. So many memories. Heck, that whole block was a vibe at night.

Metric and Brie Larson performing Black Sheep in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

@TheCinesthetic Jurassic Park

What's the best film that is NOT faithful to its source material

@littlecaesars Trailside crazy bread is literal genius.

@littlecaesars So uhhh. What’s the mythology behind the Caesar character and why is he little? Because we know what happened to Caesar-Caesar and ain’t nobody wants that. Also; really missing a great cross-marketing history lesson. Do Easter Jeep Safari. Cross the Rubicon.

hard to swallow pill: little caesars still goes hard

@MidKnightReaper @suchnerve Syndication was the goal - it’s where the real money was made. Streaming-era doesn’t care about syndication.

I mean those only ran 7 seasons because they got popular, they could’ve gone longer, but production budgets were growing, people wanted to move onto other projects, etc. I’d rather just start with full seasons (at least 22-26 episodes), enough of this 10 episode crap. I think the reason things are going so poorly is because we don’t get some of those great filler episodes like we did in the past. I’m rewatching DS9 right now and filler episodes like “Little Green Men” and “Explorers” and others are such great small world building episodes that the newer series are all lacking. They also don’t need to be anything crazy production wise, existing sets, locations, etc can all be used with minimal extra work and still make great episodes. It’s all move the story forward episodes, throw in SOME character/world building but ultimately get to the big grand finale episode to finish the season. We don’t get to really take a breath and just enjoy the world.

At this point, I almost don’t want any new Star Trek TV shows unless Paramount commits to 7 full seasons upfront. Sick and tired of their refusing to let these shows breathe, always demanding constant and immediate upticks in viewership.

@mark_slapinski The danger of course is not that they’re moving into silent acceptance; but rather isolating themselves from the rhetoric to avoid being a target. The left doesn’t realize who or what they’re losing.

@mark_slapinski The majority just want to be left alone, able to live their lives. Go to work, earn a meaningful income. They’re tired of being vilified or labeled for speaking out against the insanity; the projections of Liberalism literally shattering friendships and families.

Conservatism in Canada is DEAD. What we have now is an assortment of Maple Maga, anti-vaxxers, residential school denialists, transphobia, and Carney Derangement Syndrome.

@G33kyMick The problem is the writing. Every successful Trek outing has been story-driven to develop the characters. Allowing the character’s traits to be drawn to the audience naturally. Academy decided to force the character’s into the audience without providing story for development.

Upsetting news to hear #StarTrek Starfleet Academy will not go past Season 2. The fandom's inability to embrace any new storytelling outside of nostalgia might as well be the death knell for the fandom.

@BredsguardDalen Welcome to Canadian rock; where the song tells a story. I urge you to explore The Tragically Hip’s deep cuts.

Is this song the weirdest song from the 90s? I agree this was a weird one, but there were many more on that list. What is one you remember?

@BredsguardDalen @iRonyOz Weirder still is that two of Green Jellÿ’s core members went on to form Tool. “Flight of the Skajaquada” is a banger.

@iRonyOz This whole album was weird. I think this song was the least weird of the album 🤣

Crazy to think these amazing albums were released between August 12 and September 24, 1991. Which one is your favourite???

@unlearn16tweet @LaurenRyan12285 My only fear is the backlash that we’ll receive as a couple of Canadians discussing American politics; ironic though that most Canadians are more familiar with the US system than our own Parliament.

@cyclicallysynic @LaurenRyan12285 I think we have to talk through as much as possible. External factors are as much at play as the choices we make - I think we need to understand the way the world works rather than they way we think it should

He is not the problem, he is the symptom.

@unlearn16tweet @LaurenRyan12285 Thank you. As I’ve mentioned before (and will again) - it’s important to ask the questions. It’s important to have the conversations. But, it’s also important to avoid getting bogged down by dragging in external factors - the message then getting lost in a “chicken or egg”.

@cyclicallysynic @LaurenRyan12285 I have so much respect for your questions and intellect - this would be an awesome conversation.

@unlearn16tweet @LaurenRyan12285 Moreover, I’m of the opinion that OrangeMan has taken office TWICE is less about the popularity that he or his platform hold; but rather the inescapable hatred of the platforms and personalities proposed by his opposition.

@unlearn16tweet @LaurenRyan12285 We’ve discussed this. I’m game as soon as the weather breaks. And to be clear, I agree that there are significant problems in the world - and many of those problems are found in the protections that various Constitutions grant to their politicians.

@LaurenRyan12285 @unlearn16tweet All I ask is for @unlearn16tweet is to identify her primary grievance within the Constitution.

@LaurenRyan12285 @unlearn16tweet I watched it a third time, to maybe focus on one of her other statements - and perhaps the enshrinement of the Constitution to holy levels? If we’re going to strike down a text because too many people believe in it - where do we draw the line? The Bible? The Qu’ran? The Torah?
